I swear I heard Rocker Horse, not Rocking Horse.šŸ˜‚I am reworking the hair of my horse for animation. Sometimes the process of creating objects in #blender can be pretty silly. . #3d #blendercommunity #3dart #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blenderrender #digitalart

Hereā€™s a 360 look at my higher-poly horse! The hair particles I added for the mane and the grass really make the scene pop, but it put a lot of stress on my machine and more than doubled the render timešŸ˜… What do you think? .Ā  #blenderĀ #3d #3dart #gamedev #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #digitalart

Finished adding resolution to my horse! It was exciting to see it look more realistic as I smoothed out the faces. I am starting to feel a more confident in my #blender skilz. Let me know what you think! . #3d #blendercommunity #3dart #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Question for all the game devs out here on BSKY!Ā šŸ¤” Do you have any poly-count limits or metrics you look for when creating your models for you game? Ā  .Ā  #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedevelopmentĀ #gamedevelopmentĀ #animationĀ #videogame #videogaming #gamingĀ #blender

Created this image in #blender following along w youtube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMHE... šŸ§‘ā€šŸŽ“#Pixxo3d did a great job breaking down in a way that's easy to understand as a beginner. . #3d #blendercommunity #3dart #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #digitalart

Next step on my solo #blender learning journey, adding more definition to my horse! . #3d #blendercommunity #3dart #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blenderrender #videogame #digitalart #animation #FullTimeGameDev #RoadToFullTimeĀ 

Another look at my low-poly #blender horse! This time with all the angles. Let me know what you think! Any advice, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated! . #blendercommunity #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #3d #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #videogame #digitalart #RoadToFullTime

1st up in my solo #blender journey. I love how this turned out and can see myself using this style for a future game.Ā What do you think? All advice/suggestions/comments welcomed! . #blendercommunity #gaming #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #indiedev #gamedevelopment #3dart #videogame #digitalart

Shoutout to @gamedevtv.bsky.social for their amazing #cpp course. Having learned the basics on my own, I took this course to fill any gaps in preparationĀ for #UE. I did not expect to be making actual games! I had a blastĀ learning and working with #raylib to make these games! . #gamedev #indiegamedev

It's time to stop horsing around and strike out on my own!šŸ˜†The #blender course was fantastic, but struggle can be a great teacher too. I'm starting low-poly, and working up from there! Any suggestions? . #blendercommunity #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment

A day late, but I want to give some love to @gamedevtv.bsky.social. I recently finished theirĀ 3D Modelling for Beginners course, and it was amazing. Grant Abbitt guided me from no experience toĀ creating every #blender post Iā€™ve shown to date! I couldnā€™t recommend this course enough! #3d #digitalart

I got feedback on my wave animation, and I took a shot at re-animating Tellie. Thank you to @spiritbridgestudio.bsky.social for the great advice! I think it came out a lot better. Check out the first attempt here https://buff.ly/40Qg240 and let me know what you all think! . #blender #3d #animation

Hereā€™s another look at my #c++Ā top-down learning project, a losing play-through. I am planning on one more practice game with #raylib before starting #UnrealEngine! Next up will be a classic, Space Invaders! . #gaming #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #gamedev #MadeWithRaylib #videogame #cpp

My mouse almost went through a window so many times during this #c++ and #raylib learning project. People could hear my frustration from miles away!šŸ˜¤ BUT I persevered and that is what we call a learning experience! Checkout the final results! . #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogame #indiegame

Finished my sculpt! I was really surprised and excited with how it turned out. I found that I really enjoyed creating models using this method. Let me know what you think! . #blender #blendercommunity #gaming #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #blenderrender #digitalart #3dart

I donā€™t know what this is, but I swear it is going somewhere.šŸ˜‚ I'm learning to sculpt models in #blender. Itā€™s definitely different than the low-poly work I've done so far. Letā€™s see where this goes! . #blendercommunity #gaming #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #digitalart #3dart #gamedev #3dart

Began work on my nextĀ #c++Ā and #raylib learning project. This is a top-down combat game reminiscent of old-school Zelda. Character location is a bit wonky inĀ this genre.Ā The ducks aren't thrilled with the goblin in the pondšŸ˜‚ šŸ¦† . #gaming #indiegamedev #videogaming #videogame #MadeWithRaylib

One last post of Tellie. This project ends my work on learning animation basics in #blender. There is far more to learn, but I am ready to take on the next topic, Sculpting! Tellie and I are feeling gooood! . #blendercommunity #gaming #animation #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #gamedevelopment #3dart

New Year, New Tellie! Gotta get those steps in!Ā  .Ā  #blender #blendercommunity #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blenderrender #videogame #digitalart #3dart #animation #FullTimeGameDev #RoadToFullTimeĀ 

Hey everyone! I've been working on animations in #blender for a couple weeks. I'm going to post my progress over the next few days. Feel free to post feedback or advice! But enough rambling, say hello to Tellie, BSKY! . #blendercommunity #indiegamedev #3d #indiedev #animation #3dart #digitalart

Another screen grab from my no-platform platformer! This time my dasher didnā€™t make it.Ā šŸ˜¢ .Ā  #c++ #raylib #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #videogame #cpp #MadeWithRaylib #FullTimeGameDev #RoadToFullTimeĀ 

Another #c++ and #raylibĀ game! Moved up from Atari graphics to maybeĀ SNES! This is a simple, one-level, platformer without platformsšŸ˜‚. This game provided more of a challenge, but not too bad. Building confidence! . #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Say hello to Tellie! I'm creating this model to work on a walking animation with #blender. I canā€™t wait to show you! . #blendercommunity #3d #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blenderrender #videogame #digitalart #3dart #FullTimeGameDev #RoadToFullTime

Starting to add a visual element to my games. I used #c++ and #raylib to make this quick and easy game. It's small and simple, but first steps usually are. More to come soon! . #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #videogame #c++ #cpp #MadeWithRaylib

Who would've thoughtĀ animating a straight line would be so... complex.šŸ˜‚Apparently, there is nothing simple about animation. Checkout the update to my last post! Thank you @keyframedgames.bsky.social for theĀ amazing feedback! . #blender #blendercommunity #animation #gaming #indiegamedev #3d #3dart

Decided to go back and add some animation to my plane in #blender. This was a good learning project for UVā€™s but I believe the animation really puts it over the top. It is so motivating to see things coming together! Let me know what you think! . #blendercommunity #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #3d

Getting my first look at animating bones in #blender! This is Mester. FEAR HIM!!!! . #blendercommunity #3d #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blenderrender #videogame #digitalart #3dart #FullTimeGameDev #RoadToFullTime

Next up in my #blender journey is animation! I'm not sure if this portion of blender will be applicable once Iā€™m working with #unrealengine, but Iā€™m really looking forward to giving some life to my models! . #blender #blendercommunity #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #indiedev #3dart

A couple months back, I started learning the basics of C++. As an exercise, I recreated the Pokemon battle logic. This project was challenging but rewarding. Next step is to add some visual components! Almost ready for #UnrealEngine. . #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #indiedev #c++ #cpp

Santa wasn't thrilled with my OPSEC after my Christmas eve post, so I held off on this one. But I assure you I finished Santa's ride on time for Christmas, as some of you noted Wednesday! šŸ˜‰ And yes, I was given authorization to post this time.šŸ˜‚ . #blender #gamedev #indiedev #videogaming #3d #3dart

I didnā€™t get as far as I would like during the holiday season, but small progress is still progress! I did finish Santa's new ride in #blender and will be setting the UV Mapping soon. Hopefully we will be ready for tonight! . #blendercommunity #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #3dart #3d #indiedev

Tackling UV editing in #blender next! Started out small turning a cube into a building, then worked my way up to a barrel. Next up is a bit more adventurous, so fingers crossed! . #blendercommunity #gaming #FullTimeGameDev #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #indiegame #indiedev #blenderrender

As many of you know, I recently started my journey into game development. I have made progress on learning the basics but was held back by my computer. That has all changed! I purchased a gaming PC from NZXT and the results have been amazing! #blender and #unrealengine never stood a chance!

Welcome to Jurassic Park! Finished giving Rexy some trees and a mountain. She also got some new lighting and is ready for the big screen! . #blender #blendercommunity #gaming #FullTimeGameDev #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogaming #3d #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment #blenderrender #videogame

Finished another #blender learning project! For those of you following along, it was just a normal dinosaur. XD I am working on giving Rexy here better lighting and a scene to stand triumphantly in. Tune in for more! . #blendercommunity #gaming #FullTimeGameDev #3d #indiegamedev #indiedev #gameart
